Tunnel of Love

Not the one to be a boaster,
fifty years of roller coaster
and there I am on the poster,
raising the gold bar.
High apex of the Ferris wheel
to tea cup-in-a-tempest feel,
hot love tunnel riding the keel,
and yet here we are.

Hi elle - nice carnival metaphor for a relationship! Let's see, if I start today, I'll only be 117 in 50 years.

LOL. I can't imagine 50 years from now Dave. I think I'd still be 23. It has worked for a few decades already. Hehehehe. :)

But then you would be handed over to futuristic science investigation. Sorry it's been a long day!

I love all the amusement park references; your write is very clever. I hope that unlike a bumper car, it smoothly places!
